Denver has received above average rainfall for the month of May and, as a result, the vegetation has really come to life. Not only the grass, but flowers such as these yellow beauties as the Zephyr approaches the Blue Mountain Road grade crossing.

On our way down from Caribou, I noted what I could around where Cardinal and New Cardinal mining camps were located. eDDie knew this route north from the Cardinal area joined Boulder County's Caribou Ranch Open Space parking. The Open Space is neither at the Caribou Ranch nor at Caribou itself. It is north of Nederland, west up Sherwood Creek from the Peak to Peak Highway.
Most of this short dirt road lies on the grade of the Denver, Boulder & Western Railroad grade. This shows a curve, cut on the railroad grade that was not overlaid by the dirt road. It seems to remain intact for rough use. There ought to be some cinders around but there was not a lot of grade here. The railroad was fondly nicknamed the "Switzerland Trail," by the advertising department. Note that the clip from Crofutts GripSack Guide of 1885 mentions Caribou is 12 miles south from Sunset or “Penn. gulch,” the nearest railroad station. That would seem to be false, but George Crofutt wrote that around the 1885 date. That railroad was named The Greeley, Salt Lake and Pacific around the 1885 date. During the heyday of railroad building, most paper, coupon and budding lines included the name, Pacific, in the hopes of garnering big funding. This line, too, had Pacific dreams. They started drilling a majestic tunnel through the Continental Divide at Yankee Doodle Lake on the Moffat Line. There is no way they could have climbed Pennsylvania Gulch up to the multitudes at their prospective tunnel anyway. Their terminus was Sunset, Colorado, west of Boulder before floods down the hillsides of Four Mile Canyon, denuded by various mining operations, took out all the insubstantial trestles in the valley and rendered the RR broke. The Colorado & Northwestern Railroad, "The Switzerland Trail," was organized and the company relaid grade and track up to Sunset then switchbacked north on the way up to Ward, Colorado then took a break until the reorganization as the Denver, Boulder & Western Railroad. It was still nicknamed the Switzerland Trail. The company started grading and laying rail up a second switchback south from Sunset to start gaining altitude on a new branch that headed through the New Cardinal area for Eldora. Naturally, Cardinal began migrating closer to the railroad grade. Usually rail development companies shook down the camps as they surveyed and graded for bond sales.

I bet a guy with a metal detector could still have a field day up here if they persevered a bit.

Denver towermill was built in 1835 for John Porter and a stone tablet bearing the inscription JMP 1835 was set below the stage on the north side. The mill replaced an earlier postmill on the same site.
The large six storey mill tower was 59 ft to its curb. Four double shuttered patent sails were used to power 3 pairs of overdriven stones. One pair of sails had 10 bays of 3 shutters and the other pair had 9 bays of 3 shutters and striking was via lever mechanism. The ball finial topped, horizontally boarded ogee cap had a gallery and held a 6 bladed fan. The stones were on the third floor where a reefing stage gave access to the striking and brake chains.

Luvvved the colors of this Denver sunrise. They were gorgeous. These were the actual colors with only some brightness and contrast added. And it's just one shot (as most of my images are). Taken with my 70-200mm zoom.
